Summary

(Originally recorded May 16, 2021) Melissa - "To somebody who's still afraid, afraid to be anywhere without their mask, afraid to go outside or venture outside, afraid to be around people who haven't had the vaccine yet...from a nurse's perspective, what advice would you give them?"

Angie - "For those who still do feel afraid to go and be around other people: 1) this has never been what they made it out to be, so there is no fear there, and 2) there are a lot of great ways to take care of your body and your immune system and those things matter far more than any of these other measures that have been put in place."
